How do you keep Social Security disability income safe from debt collectors in Oregon?
By law, debt collectors other than the US government can't touch your Social Security benefits, but they can levy other assets or income. The best way to keep your disability income safe is to open a separate bank account and use it exclusively for your monthly government check(s).
You can also inform the collectors that attempting to garnish your benefits violates Section 207 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 407).

How does plagiarism negatively impact society?
Plagiarism negatively impacts society in many ways. It becomes difficult for pursuers of knowledge to know what information is dependable and what source it actually came from; if one person is seen as the source of certain information, who they are and his or her background can affect the value put on the information. Information based off plagiarism can negatively impact future articles, papers or whatever is written because this new information is unintentional and unknowingly based off of unreliable sources.
Imagine if everyone plagiarized. Misinformation would become accepted as the truth and the whole world would eventually become misinformed, worst case scenario.

Can a officer arrest someone without reading their rights?
Yes. Miranda rights are not required to be provided upon arrest. Miranda rights will be provided prior to Police asking questions which could elicit an incriminating response.
For example: you can be arrested for shoplifting, taken to a jail, fingerprinted and photographed. At no time do Police during the above described process have to question you about the crime you are suspected of committing, therefore Miranda is not required. Once Police ask you what you shoplifted, how you did it, who you did it with, etc, must Miranda rights be provided.
Movies and TV portrays Detectives as slapping the cuffs on a bad guy and immediately reading them their rights. This provides a false reality to the general public. In actuality a suspect is usually notified why they are being arrested, but not always, and transported to a jail or to Detectives for questioning.
The best place to start might be to contact your State Consumer Protection Office to find out about the laws in your state and what your options are.

No, by definition, legal adoption means the severing of all legal connection between the biological parents and re-establishing that connection with the adopting parents. Once you are over the age of 18, adoption has no real affect, unless the individual has been judged incompetent.
What arer the problems caused by labor turnover?
Labour Turnover is the rate at which labour leaves the organisation or the rate at which new labour joins the organisation. Labour Turnover is usually expressed in terms of percentage and is an important tool under the various processes of Labour Costing.
As said earlier, Labour Turnover is studied under Costing primarily. The other deprtment where it is studied is the Human Resource Department. Labour Turnover may or may not be in the favour of the company. The organisation may itself influence the Labour Turnover as dictated by its process of Man Power Planning.
The problems associated with Labour Turnover are very predictable. These however arise only where the Labour Turnover is unfavourable to the organisation. Some problems can be:
- Increase in cost of operation.
- Decrease in productivity as the new people have to be trained.
- Delay in production.
- Change in work environment.
- Changes in Human Resource Principles, etc.

How do you get accidents off your driving record?
You cannot remove them from your record in any way. Different insurance companies use different time limits in order to underwrite risks. Most insurance companies use the last 3 years in order to rate your insurance premiums. There are some companies that rate for the previous 5 years. These are the only two periods that I am aware of in rating. Time is the only factor that can help you with tickets and accidents. Tickets and accidents are actually never removed from your driving record but the rating period of the company determines how long they effect your rate.
What happens if i hit telephone pole with my car?
Depends on the speed you are traveling, what kind of car you are in, where on the car you hit, what the telephone pole is made out of and how well it was anchored. If you hit a wooden, leaning telephone pole in a large SUV head-on at 50mph, you will probably be okay (but with injuries, total your car and tip the pole, leaving live wires lying all over the place, which is bad). However, if you crash into a metal telephone pole in a small sedan head on traveling 50 miles an hour, you could sustain serious injuries and die. Always wear your seatbelt.
If you hit anywhere on the side, from skidding perhaps, traveling at any appreciable velocity, you had better hope that it's the passenger side and that you don't have a passenger, because it could very likely crush and kill them. If you hit it fast enough, as demonstrated in a picture I saw once of an Audi R8, if you hit the pole sideways fast enough, it will tear your car in half.

Do you have to refund a deposit if the buyer backs out of a puppy sale?
It all depends on your agreement/contract.
However - you can always act as a human being - ie if you can easily sell the puppy to someone else then you are not making a loss and the decent thing to do is give the deposit back - but if you can't and it is going to cost you to sell on the puppy then keep the deposit but tell the buyer why.
